Yeah, this scares me. I hope they don't fight it in court right now, and just wait for a more friendly regime. A court ruling that permits the ATF to divine the subjective intent of a manufacturer when determining if a gun is a machine gun has the potential to be abused beyond the wettest dream of a gun grabber.
"Your semi automatic rifle was intentionally designed to be fired very fast like a machine gun, therefore they are de facto machine guns".
Any gun restrictions are bad, but this is just too dangerous to push.
